Hi this was SUPER COOL!!!!!!!! will never ever get over seeing 'Jemimah Wei, Author'!!!!!!

Reunited with Tash in Bangkok and yapped nonstop 🥰 it's been nearly a decade since we first met and SUCH a journey 🥹♥️

Had my first ever OG DAUGHTER event six months out from pub last night 🥹💓 my local distributor Pansing and gem of an indie bookstore Book Bar Singapore brought together a room of literary lovers, book clubbers, & writers, now the earliest local readers of the novel, for a special prelaunch party 😭💙📚

My UK early proofs are here and they are a VIBE AND A HALF!!!! This is the standard W&N proof cover till we get a cover design, and it feels so special to get to keep this edition! 💙📚

It in fact felt like time for a change 💕💇🏻‍♀️

OG DAUGHTER IS HEADED TO THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a fresh cover and new name!!!!!!!!!!!! So so honored to be translated by Dirk-Jan Arensman for Meridiaan Publishers for the Dutch edition, and I'm so excited for her to meet her Dutch readers 🥹♥️ 💙📚

I love how we all have camera phones now. say what you will about ppl photographing everything nowadays, but I have very few childhood pics because we had to plan to borrow a camera if we wanted a pic, so most ended up being Occasions! On that note, heres me absolutely losing the plot at graduation.

mom trying to be encouraging as I look through old photo albums today 😂

carb loading / signage / 3 hours of sleep / finish line hype crew --- we accompanied her on everything but the actual marathon😂

weekend plans aka gathering to read in cafes
